Finger Bowls and Tips.

The style of serving finger bowls almost al
ways accorcis with the prices charged for the
dinner. This waiter brings you "A bowl of
strong yellow or bronze tinged, a coarse
color, and no napkin. He will bring you q
check then at least twenty five cents less than
you expected; but another waiter, who pre-
pares the finger bowls in your sight with os-
tentation and sprays the perfumes in them
with lavish hand. will charge you ut least
fifty cents more than you figured it in your
mind when giving the order, and he is sure
to bring back nothing less than a quarter in
change, that you may fee him literally. 1t
Is peculiar To finger bowl New York restau-
rants that they never have any five cent
pieces The smallest piece of change Ia waiter
ever brings is a dime. That is only with
plain glass finger bowls. IL the bowl is cut

only man who ever escaped giving a fee Is
said to be the one who told the waiter that
the place was run much better under the for

that he broke two finger bowls, and in the con.
fusion the man got away.-New York Star.

PARTED, BUT LOVING STILL.

In the crowd they have come together;
On her face the lamp light falls,
As In smiling h~ wonders whether
His parting words she recalls.
He should never marry, he told her,
Since such was to be her will.
And now he IN thirty years older,
And they both Are single still.
He spoke IL in desperate fashion,
And in grief his voice grew wild;
II touched her with dainty compassion
That he could cry like a child.
This tale of the past he remembers,
And laughs as he lifts his hat.
The fiams. has lied down into embers,
Gray, like his hair-what OF thatr
II was out of his youthful folly
The act that he most deplores;
His night shall - none the less jolly;
But she, at the play house doors,
For the word OF her footman waiting,
Disputes with the lonely years,
And her eyes, In that duh debating,
Like a child's have filled with tears.

The ST. Louis Republican, says ::
Under a law passed by a Republican

licenses, but his Republican successor.
Governor Beaver, has just authorized
the Cambria Iron Company to arm.

The object for which these troops are
maintained is, in short, to shoot strikers.

izas their maintenance is a revival of
feud slism with0ut the necessities of
feudal Zines to excuse it. The feudal
baron supported military reta:ners as a
part Of the duty he owed to his feudaI
superior, the State, represented directly
by the King. When the King did not
need them they were under the control
OF their immediate feudal lord, who
used them in his private business of rob

owe no service to the State they are
simply private Ietainers, employed by
a corporation which, as the Philadelphia
Record we'll says, can easily afford to
support them out of the enormous pro-
dls of its tariff-protected monopoly.
The men whom they are to kill when
ordered TO do SO are men who have been
imported like cattle to work in the
mines and furnaces at wages on which
an American workingman would starvc.
The money paid the mercenary troops
IS taken from the pockets of the Ameri-
can people by a process which, in the
language OF President Cleveland, .'is
not less q TAX because it is indirectly
but surely added to the cost os the

abandoning "a republican form of gov

ty Pennsylvania is attempting 20 dele

News has been received of the great
destruction of property in Isle of W nite
county, Virginia, on Monday night by
a tornado. The storm was so terrible
that the people fed from their houses
for safety, fearing that the roofs an d
walls would be- blown down upon them.
The tornado started OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad, about eight miles
ives, OF Norfolk and two miles frOn
WiLLsOr station. Near this station
lived John Wright, prosperous farmer,
w.th his wife and daughter Wright's
dwelling was SO badly blown 10 pieces
that iC presented the appearance of
having been des -royed by dynamite.
TIE whole family were instantly killed ,
their bodies being horribly mangIed.
Another farmer living in tie same
ueiga UOrhood was also killed. and a
number Of dwellings were destroyed.
Tue belief prevails that a great many
other lives have been lost, but owing to
lack of telegraphic communication 1t is
impossible to get particulars.
Il is learned that the tornado also
passed over Southampton County, where
it did great damage to fences and out
houses. Immense trees were uprOoted
and great damage was done to the OF.

wherever it strikes one there is natur-

a LITTLE more than century ago,
the Philadelphia Ledger points out,
Great Britain tried in Massachusetts, a

they could not get a fair trial in Boston
The mother country had II regiments

not more than two feet ia Z marshv

Is quite sure.
The bones are of unusual proportions
but are mostly so far decayed as to rem.
der it impJssi ble to measure them. The
teeth Of the animal are almost perfectly
preserved because of the enamel. The
largest tooth found measured six and
three-q quarters inches in width and
twenty inches in circumference it
weighed two pounds and ten ounces.

Carlisle Defines Democracy.

Speaker Carlisle in bis speech at Cow
ingtOn, Kentucky. said l want 20 say
10 all Democrats that we would be un-
worthy Of our name if we allowed anV
number of reyerses to dishearten US
The growth of the Democratic patty in
the last twenty-five yeats has been won
deTtuI. AT the close Of the war we
were entirely out Of power we had no
offices or patronage, and were practi-
cal,v OstraciZad from "a share in the
affairs Of the Government. The Dem
Ocracy had political faith founded or
the principles Of Jefferson. and they
fought for it gallantly, without hope of
reward. There has never been a time
since 1876 when the majority of the peo-
pie were not in favor of the principles
of the Democratic party. I want to i'm
press upon you the necessity OF stand
ing 10 your principles in any emmergen
cy and at all elections, no matter how
small and umimpOrtant they may
seem to be. No party can be success
ful in any coun try unless it has princi-
pies upon which it will stake its exist
eIce before the paOple. This country is
full of vagarias en- the powers OF Gov
eTnment, Some want it to become a
great eleemosynary institution for the
care of everybody; some want it to puT-
chase the railroads and telegraph lines :;
some want it to interfere with the peo-
ple's private business ; some want it to
loan money to INDECENT people. 1t is
impossible to enumeTate schemes to rob
the taxpayers for the benefit of some
BODY else. We must overcome the SOci-
alistic theories abroad in the land. We
mus: stand everywhere for the protec-
tion Of both capital and labor We
must stand everywhere for she rights Of
men to do business with their own mon
eV in their own way. II the Democratic
party does not do this it might as well
cease to exist.

TIE New Orleans Picgwms proposes,
as a means Of c0uuteTRcsiDg the terrible
dry seasons with which the people living
in Western TeNts are liable to be af-
flicted, that dams shall be thrown across
the several rivers that penetrate that
region and artificial bodies OF water
formed. The resultant increase of
humidi fIom evaporation and the use
Of the water supply for irrigatng pur-
poses in time OF need would improve the
climate and insure the successful cuI-
